Anyway, I was planning on being done with all things mafia after this game until next offseason, but you fools have gone and given me an idea.

Give me a slot in one of these upcoming weeks and I'll give you want you want: A guaranteed random game with extremely limited town power roles.

Looking at you guys Caddy, Gonzo...put up or shut up with those deductive skills you've been itching to show off.

You don't think I possess any deductive skills? I single handedly (Todd excluded) took down Gonzo/Back-up Godfather a few games back without a hint of evidence. I actually go with my gut BB. I'm not sure the same can be said of you. And Gonzo and I might not like each others approaches, but at least he too actually goes with his gut feeling. One of the very, very few.

There was no intended sarcasm. You say you've got them, and I'm willing to give you (and everyone) a game to show them off.

It doesn't matter how you spin it, randomisation is the only true, fair option. The fact that certain people or groups of people are predisposed to be certain roles/teams just tarnishes the game as far as I am concerned.

If one of the reasons you make an inactive person a townie, because they aren't around a lot, then don't let them play. From now on what is going to happen is the regular contributors are going to be targeted even MORE often than usual because now people will know/think that they're more likely to have a power role, and based on recent history they'd apparently be right.

In future games you have to go random now, because otherwise, players like myself/Gonzo/Jbond/Viddy/Jr/Bulldogs etc will be killed early by the mafia because they'll think it has been rigged a certain way.

You say you have to balance it, but I completely disagree. Random is the best way. It is the only way to completely eliminate any bias in the role giving process.

Preferably njx finishes that site and everyone has a randomized name that is only for that game thus removing any biases.

Neither of you becomes full blow inactive, but I think your participation drops a little with the laziness aspect of it. Whereas at some points, either of you is capable of dominating the conversation and playing really well, you just seem to play half-hearted when townie.

Him and I actually discussed not too long ago about not taking the action of the last person to submit their action each night. They get mod roleblocked basically.

There is no god damn reason for EVER taking 10-12 hours to submit your action during daylight-evening hours. Overnight I care less because even I'm asleep, but sometimes the thread will close in the late morning or early afternoon and it takes until THE NEXT ******* DAY to get it started again because certain pieces of **** decide to take for-*******-ever to get their actions in. It's extremely irritating.

And I don't give a **** about any excuse you have when that happens. Like, I realize that certain people are in vastly different time zones or can't check in from work like some of us can. But at least check in before you leave for work/sleep, or check in as soon as you get our of work/wake up. Check from your phone on breaks. Do something! Don't ******* bother to sign up when you know you're going to be away for vast stretches of the day.

I'm sure you want to play, but don't hold up 20 other people because you can't be bothered to get online for 5 minutes to send in your action.
